Re: "waffle" in the ATPL theory books - don't know about you guys, but I see this material as more important than "stuff I have to learn for 2 months, pass the exam, then brain-dump it". I like the fact the AFT material is comprehensive, and I won't be complaining about too much information in the study materials. Learn to extract the specific teaching points from the "waffle" and plug them into your head the best way you know.
